This yonge king, which peised al,
Hire beaute and hir wit withal,
As he that was with love hent,[526]
Anon therto yaf his assent. 3380
He myhte noght the maide asterte,[527]
That sche nis ladi of his herte;
So that he tok hire to his wif,
To holde whyl that he hath lif:
And thus the king toward his knyht
Acordeth him, as it is riht.
